Today, a walk along the banks of the Beaulieu River leads to the historic village of Bucklers Hard. It is a village stuck in time. It was a hub of past shipbuilding. More than 50 wooden ships were built for the Royal Navy from New Forest oak. Vessels built included HMS Agamemnon, HMS Euryalus, and HMS Swiftsure; they all fought at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805. When the Napoleonic Wars ended, shipbuilding at Buckler’s Hard declined markedly. This decline was also due to the new iron warships.
Today the Hard is a peaceful haven.

I like that the UK preserves their historic places … I just read about a walk taken by another UK blogger that she took on the Tolkien Trail in Hurst Green, a village in the scenic Ribble Valley. I told Clare the same thing.
